Swing Batter Batter Swing

Kole has been watching Koby play the Wii for weeks, but has never gotten a chance to try it himself. This is him trying to play baseball and I thought it was cute.

St. Patrick's Day?

I only wish I was making this stuff up, then you wouldn't think I was crazy. But, I figure maybe by showing how brainless I am will make someone feel better. So, last night I get an email from Koby's teacher reminding all the parents that picture day is today and for the kids to wear jeans and a white shirt. Let me emphasize that this was a REMINDER email as if we should already know. I had no clue. However, I will not take blame for this one as Koby has missed lots of school in the last few weeks and evidently has not gotten all the handouts which probably included the one about picture day. I am just thankful that the email was sent or once again, Koby would have been the only one different from everyone else. That's not so bad; but this is: I am getting him dressed in his white shirt and jeans and he tells me he doesn't want to wear the shirt. So I explain to him that his teacher wants him to wear it because that's how everyone is dressing today for pictures. So he replies: "Well, on St. Patrick's Day, everyone at school had on green - even the babies in the nursery - and you didn't let me wear anything green." After feeling horrible once again, I said, "Honey, I didn't even know St. Patrick's day had come and gone." Poor, poor, poor Koby.

Thanks for the dress Aunt Jill!

We took Koby to opening night of the Traveler's game (our Minor league team here) Thursday night. He tired out after we sang during 7th inning stretch so we left. Little did we know we were driving home as a tornado was hitting Little Rock. Thankfully, it missed our town by about five miles, but there was a lot of damage in the neighborhood we moved from about a year ago.

Take Me Out To The Ballgame

All done!

I just have to brag on Troy for a minute. He worked his tail off for 8 days laying tile in our kitchen/laundry room. I thought I would go crazy with the appliances all over the house and the constant mess, but it was worth it. He did a great job and the tile looks awesome.

JUST SO YOU KNOW

I just wanted to let everyone know that I took Koby back to school today, it was actually open this time and I buckled all the kids in and shut the car doors before I left. All I have to do is make it two more months at this school and then he will go to kindergarten at a new school where nobody knows me yet. A new school year, a new beginning.......................
